THE MARBLE FALLS.
Transfer to tho Farmers' Alliance Consid-
Grafton 500, OO-Burnet's Future.

Burnet Bulletin.
The editor of the Bulletin had brief
interview with Mr.. Sam Z. Holland, g
few days ago, and learned definitely OF
him OF the transfer of the celebrated Marble
Falls property to the Farmers Alliance.
At last the long talked-of event is fact,
the deeds have been signed, and the
| development OF this valuable water power
and BUrnet's greatest boom are events
not far in the future.
Mr.. Holland is one OF the most public
! spirited, liberal and wealthy citizens of
BurneJ county, and has been very active
in pushing this scheme to completion.
! He is practical and honorable in every
! thing, and carries 8 large Influence among
the yoemanry of this section. He eX-
! planned to Us that the Burnet Alliance
moves in the matter with the advice and
assistance of the State Alliance-the char
ter of the latter protecting the actions Of
! the former. Burnet raises $4,000 of the
purchase money, and the Central Ali
ance guarantees the other $4,000.
The magnitude and Importance of this
transfer of property can hardly be over
estimated. By the stroke of four or five
citizens pens, $50, 600 farmers of Texas
! become interested in this part of Texas.
! This factory forms the germ from which
! other grand enterprises will take root
! The money invested at Marble Falls, the
! operatives employed, the attention the.
! scheme will direct to this part of Texas,
| will give BurneC and her magnificent wa
! ter power and mineral resources such q
momentum forward as has never before
been witnessed.
Mr.. Holland further informs US that
sometime in July, after proper advertis-
| ing, there will be formal sale of town
lots in Marble Falls City, and its settle
ment be at once instituted. OF this,
more information will be furnished here
after.
